[skeetertuskin]

he's 33. it hasn't been as long as you think it was since myspace peaked.

[bellwetherr]

esp since he's been acting since he was young

Auditions have dried up since coming out.

I HIGHLY recommend everyone go read the whole article, it’s fascinating and sad.

In our next on-camera class, Brad praised me. “Everyone needs to look at Colton,” he said. “This kid is going places.” I knew what he was doing: withholding validation, then meting it out one morsel at a time so you craved the attention even as you hated him for being stingy with it. It was the kind of behavior that bonded him to the damaged young people who passed through his class. I was happy he had said my performance was strong - as though I had passed the test. People with a stronger sense of self-worth might have quit after being so humiliated, but I belonged here

During our trip, we wound up at the home of a movie executive who lived in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. There were lots of other young men there, milling around the cavernous living room. They all looked like me: wide-eyed and full of promise.

SMELLS LIKE BRYAN SINGER UP IN HERE

Roland Emmerich is as well known as Bryan Singer for 'boy parties' too.

yep... i used to know someone who was invited to Roland's parties and events. he was only like 19 at the time too.

That makes me feel sick to read because he was almost certainly a teenager during a lot of that.
